Brief Answer:
Is it new or how always XXXXXXX like this?

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome to HCM,

I'd like to know if this is the first time this is happening or have you ever experienced it before ?

Also, are you currently menstruating or when is the next expected period ?

Menstrual cramps are not always uncommon. Most respond to pan-killers i.e. Tylenol. If this fails and there are other symptoms such as offensive discharge, then we may want to investigate possible infections.

Let me hear back from you on the above questions. In the meantime, do well to take 650mg of Tylenol every 8 hours (take it after some food) for relief.

I wish you a speedy recovery.
Regards

Do you mean it hurts continuously for two weeks?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Help clarify me about this. Does it hurt every two weeks or it hurt continuously for two weeks.

Did you even try the pain medications i suggested ? Kindly let me know in details in order to guide you further.

Brief Answer:
I recommend you get examined!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Given this additional fact and the point that your menses are not any close, I will suggest that you get evaluated by a doctor. At least, we need to examine you and run a few tests to understand what is going on. It might be necessary to do an ultrasound to look at the uterus and the ovaries for more answers.

Please, let me know how it goes when you get to see your primary care doctor.
